Primordial Wilderness: Starting by Downloading Pangu's Cultivation

Soon, a message appeared in Qing Tian's mind.

When Qing Tian finished reading that segment of information, he was utterly shocked.

Because the owner of this message truly was the inscrutable Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao offered an extremely tempting condition: as long as Qing Tian stopped here, he could become a Heavenly Dao Sage under heaven, and could even merge with the Dao to govern the Primordial Wilderness.

Upon receiving this news, Qing Tian froze. Wasn't this exactly what happened to Ancestor Hongjun?

How had it landed on his head instead?

"A Sage!"

"The Heavenly Dao!"

Qing Tian decisively severed the vast aura of the Heavenly Dao, his eyes sharp as he radiated an unparalleled imperial might.

Naturally, Qing Tian would not do such a thing.

If any other Primordial Wilderness being had received this message, they would have been overjoyed—after all, this was the position of a Heavenly Dao Sage, the supreme sovereign governing heaven and earth.

But Qing Tian, hailing from a later era, understood clearly what these so-called Heavenly Dao Sages truly were. In name, they sounded glorious, exalted above countless beings, but in reality, they were nothing more than the Heavenly Dao's watchdogs.

And how could Qing Tian possibly choose to become the Heavenly Dao's lackey? That would completely disgrace his identity as an Innate Demon God and mock his inheritance of Pangu's vast cultivation.

Boom!

The moment Qing Tian severed the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, it was as if a terrifying fury erupted from the highest peak of Buzhou Mountain.

Rip!!

Then, the void seemed to be torn apart by some force, and an emotionless eye appeared in the sky above.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye!

Qing Tian gazed at the enormous eye hovering in the void—this was one of the Heavenly Dao's common avatars.

After all, the Heavenly Dao had no true physical form, only a powerful will.

"Oh?"

"This aura of the Heavenly Dao?"

"..." Soon, Qing Tian noticed that the aura carried by the Heavenly Dao's Eye seemed not much different from his own.

Could it be?

A startling guess surfaced in Qing Tian's mind.

It was that because he had touched upon something that affected the Heavenly Dao's ordained trajectory, a portion of the Heavenly Dao's will had awakened ahead of time. That was why this Heavenly Dao's will was so weak.

Qing Tian's guess was indeed correct.

The Heavenly Dao was not meant to manifest at this time. The Primordial Wilderness was still under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao; only after the Three Races had completely fallen would heaven and earth be fully controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

"Just what kind of thing forced a part of the Heavenly Dao's will to awaken ahead of time and stop me?"

Qing Tian thought as he looked at the Heavenly Dao's Eye. For the Heavenly Dao to temporarily awaken a portion of its will to block him, this had to be an extremely important treasure.

This only made Qing Tian even more intrigued—after all, even the Heavenly Dao was trying to stop him from continuing his assault.

"Heaven Shattering Palm!"

"Boom!"

Qing Tian snorted coldly, ignoring the Heavenly Dao's Eye hovering above, and struck again at the void where he had already torn open a deep crack.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye stood in the void, watching Qing Tian's attack with no fluctuation in its gaze.

It simply glanced lightly into the void, and a strand of aura materialized out of nowhere, directly blocking Qing Tian's strike.

Qing Tian looked at the energy that had stopped his attack—this was entirely within his expectations.

He had to admit, the Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao. Even in an incomplete form, its power was unfathomable.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao's Eye also looked down at Qing Tian below. It felt an unusual sensation toward this being, as if this creature would become its great enemy.

"Qing Tian, this place is not for you to touch. Leave at once, and this Heavenly Dao will not hold you accountable for this."

A peculiar voice emanated from the Heavenly Dao's Eye, resounding through heaven and earth.

"Hahaha!"

"If you were the complete Heavenly Dao, perhaps This Emperor would still fear you three parts. But now, you are merely a fragment of your former self, and you still dare to wish for This Seat to leave? Today, I will see just what it is you are trying to hide."

"Heh!"

Qing Tian roared in fury, his immense aura piercing the heavens as a Dharma Aspect surged behind him.

"Die!"

"..." The Heavenly Dao's Eye, in its emotionless gaze, burst forth with a beam of light. Instantly, the surrounding three thousand laws formed a cage.

It intended to seal Qing Tian away completely.

"A mere Law Cage thinks it can trap me, Qing Tian? Truly the raving of a madman."

Qing Tian watched the Law Cage pressing down from all directions, yet not a trace of panic showed on his face.

The more formidable the enemy before him, the less he could afford to be flustered.

After all, one misstep would mean a fate of utter annihilation—body and soul alike.

"Dharma Fusion!"

"Explode!"

Qing Tian roared to heaven and earth. The dharma manifestation behind him instantly merged into his body.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Tian's entire form swelled directly upward.

Ten thousand zhang!

Thirty thousand zhang!

Fifty thousand zhang!!

It did not stop until it had surged to ninety thousand zhang.

Nine was the ultimate number; to transcend ninety thousand zhang was to attain the supreme Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

In that instant, a giant ninety thousand zhang tall appeared at the highest peak of Buzhou Mountain.

Fortunately, this was the summit of Buzhou Mountain, where the lingering aura of Great God Pangu shrouded all heavenly secrets, preventing any divine sense from penetrating.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would not have dared to appear so openly on the Wild Continent.

After all, the Great Dao now governed the Wild Continent, and the Heavenly Dao, as its son, could not act presumptuously before it.

Yet Buzhou Mountain still bore Pangu's residual aura, and the Great Dao had no leisure to oversee this place—leaving a crack for the Heavenly Dao to exploit.

"Heavenly Dao, watch me shatter your dog-cage to pieces!"

Qing Tian roared at the Heavenly Dao's Eye standing in the void. He loathed being looked down upon from on high; it was always he who looked down on others.

Boom!

There were no flashy techniques.

Qing Tian's hands directly seized the three thousand laws pressing down to imprison him, crushing them with sheer brute force from the vast mana within his body.

This was the terror of Great God Pangu in ages past—one force breaking ten thousand laws. No matter what divine ability, mysterious treasure, or arcane secret art you wielded, a single fist sufficed to settle it.

The simpler the method, the more powerfully it could be unleashed.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye watched Qing Tian continuously shatter the Law Cage it had conjured, and the expression in those eyes—seemingly eternal and unchanging—shifted at that moment.

Fear!!

The Heavenly Dao's Eye felt a sliver of fear.

Though it was said the Heavenly Dao had no consciousness, all things possessed a thread of life. The Heavenly Dao, as a union of rules, could indeed give birth to awareness.

And in a world as vast as the one Pangu had opened, its Heavenly Dao was naturally different.

"Pangu Axe!"

"..."

Under the Heavenly Dao's Eye's stunned gaze, Qing Tian bellowed, and a sky-supporting giant axe materialized before him.

This axe, too, stood ninety thousand zhang tall, its entire body radiating a formidable aura.

Qing Tian gripped the Pangu Axe with both hands, and a berserk aura surpassing that of a Golden Immortal of the Origin erupted without restraint.

At this moment, Qing Tian seemed like Pangu reborn, shaking heaven and earth across the Wild Continent.

The Heavenly Dao's Eye, witnessing this scene, was utterly shaken. Its pupils rolled wildly.
